Gestos interpretativos investidos em duas versões da canção popular infantil “O cravo e a rosa”

Abstract

: In this paper, affiliated to the French matrix Discourse Analysis, we aim to reflect on the interpretative gestures invested by the subject-singers/songwriters of two versions of the children’s song “O Cravo e a Rosa”. Thus, we seek to relate the meaning with the operation of discursive memory, which enables and grounds every saying in society and history, being constitutive of language, in which meanings are (re)produced by the retaking of previous sayings. By launching our interpretative gesture on the version of “O Cravo e a Rosa” by Domínio Público/Rubinho do Vale (1998) and also on its rewriting, developed by Isaque Folha (2014), it is possible to explain that the subject-singer of the first version is inscribed in a discursive formation (FD) patriarchal and macho subject-position, which reproduces a violent discourse against women. About the reading gesture invested by the subject-singer/composer of the rereading, in which he resumes sayings already said, we consider that he ends up reinforcing what was already legitimized in the original version, without significantly changing the meanings already set
